Abstract
Influenza A (H1N1) pandemic reached its peak in Europe in autumn 2009. H1N1 infection can be a serious complication in patients with comorbidity or immunodepression. Here, we report of a boy with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia with a very severe respiratory distress caused by influenza A (H1N1) infection in pulmonary aspergillosis, successfully treated with antifungal therapy, oseltamivir, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
